The Copper Children at Oregon Shakespeare Festival


  • Angus Bowmer Theater 20E Main St. Ashland, OR (map)

Original music and sound design for this world premiere play by Karen Zacariás, which was unfortunately cancelled due to the COVID pandemic. Please check out the score below!

Based on the true history of “orphan trains” that transported immigrant children (mostly Irish) to homes in the West, this world-premiere play explores the events that led to the sensational (and now-forgotten) "Trial of the Century" custody case that stirred the nation into a frenzied debate about children, law, race, class and religion. Directed by Shariffa Ali, The Copper Children takes a sharp look at the collision of good intentions and despicable behavior, blending humor, tragedy, joy and unsentimental social commentary.
